The Chicago Bulls are looking desperate to bring back their glory days. Even if that means trading away their star prospects for this season. As per recent reports from NBA Insider Jake Fischer, the Bulls authorities have expressed interest in trading some of their big names. As per the report on ‘The Stein Line,’ the Bulls will be looking to change the core of their roster ahead of the February 6 NBA trade deadline.
Surprisingly, three of their biggest stars feature in the list- Lonzo Ball, Zach LaVine, and Nikola Vučević. “No surprise, then, that Bulls executives, according to league sources, have been messaging to rival front offices that they are willing to discuss the majority of their roster in trade talks leading up to the Feb. 6 trade deadline,” wrote Fischer in his report.
